President Obama said he'll seek the repeal of provisions in the new defense authorization bill barring the transfer of terrorist suspects to the U.S. for civilian trials.

Obama said he had signed the defense authorization bill despite its inclusion of a measure barring the use of funds to transfer prisoners away from the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for trials in the U.S.

But the president said he believed those provisions unconstitutionally interfered with his powers and that he would seek their repeal — leaving alive his stated goal of closing the U.S. military base in Cuba.

It will never get through the House.  Remember, all of the budget legislation has to start there.
